The Sandhamn Boathouse kept its trusses, its boards and its colour. How we repaired more than we replaced and added one new view of the water.

Bygglov, startbesked and slutbesked explained in plain words. What the municipality decides, how long it may take and what happens between the steps.

A view sells a plot, but rock, water, wind and the local plan decide the house. What we look at when a client asks us to walk a site.

On Fårö the stone was already there, in the ground, in the walls and in the light. How the summer house grew out of the island’s limestone.

In Stockholm the winter sun barely clears the trees. How we place windows, choose surfaces and plan rooms so a house makes the most of it.
